French President Emmanuel Macron vowed to hold protesters accountable after violent scenes of looting and rioting across France, with the unrest deepening political tensions ahead of next year's presidential election.

Macron vowed to hold accountable those who "sought to overthrow the Republic" after protests turned into looting and riots in major cities on Saturday, deepening the country's political crisis.

In a televised speech on Sunday, Macron said "nothing justified" the scenes of unrest across France, where a historic town hall in Limoges was engulfed in flames.

"Those who looted will have to pay for the damage, and those who sought to overthrow the Republic will be held accountable," the French president said.

Macron acknowledged public disappointment and anger over the unrest, while condemning what he described as “insurgent elements from the radical left, joined by numerous criminals.” He called on all politicians to condemn the violence.

Macron also asked the public to distinguish between those protesting peacefully for what he called "legitimate demands" and those using the demonstrations as a pretext to destroy, vandalize and loot.

Macron's speech was highly anticipated, as the president, interior minister and prime minister faced harsh criticism over their management of the police operation.

Far-right leader Marine Le Pen, who is leading in polls ahead of next April's presidential election, accused Macron of laxity, or being too soft, while progressive and green groups criticized what they saw as excessive police force against protesters.

Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the leader of the far-left (LFI), has been accused by critics of inciting further chaos and violence.

Macron, who will travel to Kuwait on Monday, did not announce additional security measures but said local authorities would cooperate directly with police to protect "our cities, our public buildings and our shops."

On Saturday, large crowds of people gathered in major French cities to protest against the cost of living and deteriorating conditions for students. What started as peaceful demonstrations turned into chaos, with riots, looting, fires and widespread damage to shops.

According to official figures, more than 2,000 people were arrested and over 600 police officers, gendarmes and firefighters were injured.

The unrest comes as France prepares for a contentious presidential election next year. Macron said the country deserved "beautiful elections" fueled by debate, not violence.
